Celebrating Ceredigion's Sporting Achievements at the Sports Awards 2024
On Friday, 05 July 2024, the Ceredigion Sports Awards 2024 took place at the Penmorfa Council Offices in Aberaeron. The event, hosted by Ceredigion Sports Council in partnership with Ceredigion Actif, celebrated the outstanding sporting achievements of people in the County and those who support them.
The ceremony saw recognition across eight award categories, highlighting the dedication and talent within Ceredigion. Among the honoured were 42 talented junior athletes and 22 international athletes, showcasing the region’s impressive sporting talent.
The awards also celebrated the contributions of young volunteers, unsung heroes, volunteers for disability sports, and Coach of the Year. These individuals play a crucial role in inspiring and encouraging more people in the County to get active and make use of the excellent facilities available.
Councillor Catrin M S Davies, Ceredigion’s Cabinet Member for Culture, Leisure and Customer Services, said: "It's great to see so many individuals, in more than 15 sports, being honored for their hard work and achievements. Last year the Tarling brothers were honored and this year Josh is in the Olympic team together with another young man from Ceredigion, Stevie Williams, who is currently competing in the Tour de France.
“They are great ambassadors for Ceredigion. This shows how important it is to support our young people and recognize the extent of their effort. The awards remind us of everyone's personal effort but also our community's effort to promote sport and support physical activity."
Ceredigion Sports Council extend their heartfelt gratitude to the five companies who sponsored the event: Castell Howell, Alliance Leisure, ABER Instruments, Cawdor Cars, and Hafren Furnishers. Their support made this celebration possible.
Congratulations to all the awardees for their remarkable achievements. Your hard work and dedication are truly inspiring!
